8 characteristics of living things

Let us learn about 8 characteristics of living things

  • Living things are capable of utilizing, transferring or transforming energy to carry on various life processes.
  • Living things have the capacity to produce young ones of their kind. This property is called reproduction.
  • Living things show a complex array of biochemical processes, collectively called as metabolism.
  • Living things exhibit various mechanisms for maintaining a constant state.
  • Living things show adaptations to their surrounding environment.
  • Living things show the ability to undergo evolution over a period of time.
  • Living things exhibit the capacity to respond to a stimulus. This property is known as irritability.
  • Living things are modified in such a way as to perfectly adapt themselves to the environment in which they live.

blood groups explained

Let us learn about blood groups explained

The genes we inherit from our mother & father determine our blood group.


Blood is explained by the type A, B, AB or O & the Rhesus (Rh) factor. The Rhesus factor is a protein which is either present or absent on the surface of our red blood cells. In medical this is indicated by a plus sign (+) or a minus sign (-). Best example, the blood type O+ means which the blood is type O & each blood cell has the Rhesus factor.

A blood group is recognized by a collection of inherited chemical substances (antigens) located on the surface of each red blood cell. The antigens, with the Rhesus factor, help the body to distinguish its own blood from the blood of another person.

boron family

Let us learn about boron family

Boron family exists in the earth's crust to the extent of only about ten ppm. The pure & original element is shiny & black. Boron is very hard & in extremely pure form is nearly as hard as diamond, but much too brittle for practical use. At high temperatures boron is a good conductor but at room temperature & below is an insulator. This behavior & many of its other properties earns it the classification of a metalloid. In order to the crystalline form of boron there is also an amorphous dark brown powder

Boron exhibit -3 oxidation state in borides example Mg3B2

No regular trend is noticed in the melting points of these elements in order to the structural changes in the elements. The M.P is high because it exists as large covalent polymer in solid & liquid states. The low melting point of gallium is because to its simple molecular structure.

Boiling point decrease frequently in boron family

halogen family

Let us learn about halogen family

The halogen family includes the elements fluorine, Cl; bromine, F; chlorine, Br; iodine, I; & astatine, At. All the halogen elements aside from astatine exist in the Earth's crust & atmosphere.

The halogens are the best-referred as family of elements. Halogens have an almost perfect gradation of physical properties. The increase in atomic weight from fluorine over iodine is paralleled by intensify in melting, boiling points, & density. Critical temperature & pressure, heats of fusion & vaporization, & even in progressively deeper color

weight of human heart

Let us learn about weight of human heart

Weight of human heart is 10-12 ounces for a male & 8-10 ounces for a female. The weight increases with age & is especially noticeable in males.

Man heart weight is 300g
Female heart weight is 200g

The Weight of human heart is between 200 g - 450 g, however, this number can be extremely varied when the heart is diseased. A heart which is deceased can sometimes weigh as much as 1000 g; more than 2 pounds! The human heart is located between the lungs & in approximately the middle of the chest, slightly left of the breast bone. Approximately 2 thirds of its mass lies to the left of the body's midlines. In an average adult weighing approximately 80 kg, the human heart is approximately 0.3% of the total mass.

mechanical waves

Let us learn about mechanical waves

Mechanical waves are referred as a local oscillation of material. Only the energy propagates; the oscillating material does not travel far from its initial equilibrium position; the wave travels by jumping from 1 particle of the medium to another. Hence, mechanical waves transport energy & not material

Water waves, Sound waves, & waves in solid objects are all best example of mechanical waves

A mechanical wave is the transport of energy through a medium

Make a note that it is energy which is moving and not the material through which the energy travels.

what does the nucleus do

Let us learn about what does the nucleus do?

The nucleus of the cell includes much of the DNA of the cell, & it regulates the activities of that cell, whatever those activities are. The nucleus is compiled of chemical structures that orchestrate chemical reactions that make the cell function. It is the nucleus, or, rather, those things in it, which control what the cell does, including those activities that keep the cell alive, as well as the things it does to contribute to the functioning of the organism whose structure it is a part of.

The nucleus controls & manages all cell activity. The nucleus has the capacity to copy exactly, its own DNA. The nucleus is a circular central form.

graham's law

Let us learn about graham's law

Graham's law is also called as Graham's law of effusion, was formulated by Scottish physical chemist Thomas Graham. Graham invented experimentally that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles.

Graham's law affirms that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight. Thus, if the molecular weight of 1 gas is 4 times that of another, it would diffuse through a porous plug or escape through a small pinhole in a vessel at half the rate of the other. A complete theoretical description of Graham's law was provided years later by the kinetic theory of gases. Graham's law impart a basis for separating isotopes by diffusion — a method that came to play a crucial role in the development of the atomic bomb.

causes of pollution

Let us learn about causes of pollution

Increasing population is the main cause for pollution. To meet human needs, man has been finding ways & means to exploit the natural resources thereby leading to many harmful introductions of pollutants into the surroundings. The ultimate reason of pollution is human activity itself.

Pollution always has harmful effects on the abiotic & biotic components of the earth. So it is extremely essential for human beings to check & control pollution to provide a safe future for their next generations.

anomers

Let us learn about anomers

An anomer is a special kind of epimer. Anomers is 1 of 2 stereoisomers of a cyclic saccharide which differs only in its configuration at the hemiacetal or hemiketal carbon, also said to be as the anomeric carbon

Either of a couple of cyclic stereoisomers designated α or β of a sugar or glycoside, differing only in configuration at the reducing carbon atom.anomer´

Anomers are designated α incase the configuration at the anomeric carbon is similar as that at the reference asymmetric carbon in a Fischer projection. Incase the configuration differs the anomer is designated β. The α- and β-forms of glucose are the best examples of anomers

anomeric carbon

Let us learn about anomeric carbon

The best example of anomeric carbon is which carbon in a monosaccharide like glucose about which rotation occurs. The anomeric carbon can be able to determine by the carbon “C” attached to 2 oxygen “O” atoms joined by single bonds. This rotation brings about 2 distinct configurations, α & β -anomers. Carbohydrates can then change spontaneously between α & β configurations: a process called as mutarotation.

metallurgical process

Let us learn about metallurgical process
The method of extracting a metal from its ore & refining it, is said to be as metallurgical process or simply as metallurgy.

There are a variety of metallurgical process generating off-gases including a variety of SO2 concentrations & impurities. Each process is special & unique that dictates the gas be treated in different ways in order to remove impurities & treat the SO2 in the gas

A metallurgical process for bending steel bars & rods to the desired finished curvature or straightness without the normally expected losses in strength properties by bending the steel to straighten, etc., while at a temperature within the range of 300°-900° F. & preferably 400°-700° F. Steels that respond to such treatment are of the type that precipitation harden in response to such bending.
